About this experience
Meeting at 9:30 in the marina, quick safety briefing
and off we go towards Egadi (Favignana and/or Levanzo)
During the navigation we unfurl the sails and turn off the engines for an authentic and relaxing experience (wind permitting).
For those interested, the basic notions and rules of sailing will be explained.
Once we arrive at the islands we stop in some of the most beautiful coves both to swim and/or to observe the seabed with masks and snorkels that we provide.
The excursion to the islands varies depending on the weather conditions, current wind and waves are constantly changing... this is the charm of sailing, nature guides us.
We return to the Marina at 18:30
